Can there really be anything left to say about the new McLaren Super Series after these piecemeal press releases? There is actually, even if by the time the covers come off on the March 7 press day you'll be forgiven for feeling a sense of Super Series fatigue.
Thus far we've had details of the
structure
aero
suspension
engine
and now we've got wheels, tyres and brakes. And news that if you've scared yourself hitting 125mph from rest in the published 7.8 seconds you can hit the brake pedal and be stationary again in just 4.6 seconds and 117 metres. Once your eyeballs have returned to their sockets you can perhaps take in the fact this is six metres shorter than a 650S and "almost on a par with the legendary McLaren P1" in the words of this latest release.
Further details include news of standard carbon ceramic brakes, lighter and stiffer calipers and improved pedal feel and modulation. Impressive, given McLarens were already among the best in the business for the latter. There's also a new Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyre to which McLaren is attributing a 6 per cent increase in mechanical grip over the 650S.
And if you're STILL not satisfied there's a little testing vid with McLaren's chief test driver Chris Goodwin below.
